Craig Whan, MS, PMP brings over 20 years professional project and program management experience in industries including telecommunications, technical consulting, DoD project management, facilities project management and PMP exam prep training.
He has served as adjunct faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara (Extension) and currently at Sonoma State University, teaching project management fundamentals to hundreds of community professionals and campus students, adding career skills and project management benefit to their sponsoring organizations.
"High performance organizations understand the importance of an efficient, effective project management process. Organizations without a project process tend to experience more chaos, friction, inefficiency and reduced value output.
Furthermore, the most effective processes are the ones reduced to the fewest steps needed to achieve success, that everyone can understand. Anything that adds complexity, or does not contribute directly to 'making it happen' should be removed."
Testimonials
"Craig presented two workshops on project management to a group of 20 of our executive, management and supervisory staff. Most of this group had never been exposed to project management concepts previous to this training.
The first session was on project management basics. Craig did a great job presenting material that was foreign to most of the group in an understandable and digestible manner while involving and bringing in new concepts to those with some project management experience. He was engaging and responsive to the needs of the attendees.
Due to the success of the first session, the Court brought Mr. Whan back for a second session which would help attendees use what they had learned in their jobs. He worked with us to tailor the session to our organization's needs. The exercise was very helpful and passed on a great deal of knowledge. After the session, a number of our employees immediately began new projects and I was happy to see the concepts and tools imparted in the training sessions being put to practical use.
I would happily recommend his services to other organizations and would not hesitate to bring him back if we found ourselves in need of further training."

"While working through Mr. Whan’s curriculum in his Introduction to Project Management course, I learned a tremendous amount of material without feeling overwhelmed. Mr. Whan gives a significant amount of appropriate background for the concepts he teaches.
Mr. Whan has a very approachable personality and the student is invited into dialog with him and their classmates during his instruction. I highly recommend him to any prospective student of project management."
